Chapter 292 239 Birthday Gift_2
So, Fang You decided to take advantage of the opportunity to buy a birthday gift to bring his dad to experience life, to let him understand the hardships and difficulties of life, so that he could work hard and know how important it is to strive.
Fang You led Fang Guanghui to the third floor of the shopping mall and suddenly stopped.
"Hey, You You, weren't you going to buy a birthday gift? Fantasy World is on the fourth floor; let's continue up the elevator."
"I am not picking out a birthday gift for Nuo Nuo at the toy store anymore, we're going to this store."
Fang You pointed to a nearby store.
Fang Guanghui was stunned for a moment, looking at the name of the store, he couldn't pronounce the brand name for the life of him.
Mozert?
At this time, Fang Guanghui couldn't help but frown slightly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked Fang You:
"Ah... are you sure, it's this store?"
"Yes, it's this store."
Fang You nodded, "I want to prepare a birthday gift for Nuo Nuo here at this Mozert jewelry store."
Isn't this too high-end?
Fang Guanghui never imagined his son would think to buy Nuo Nuo a birthday gift from a jewelry store.
Last year you gave the "Dune" deluxe edition; how come it's changed so much this year!
Fang You led Fang Guanghui into the high-end, upscale jewelry store. As soon as they entered, a sales associate came over to greet them:
"Hello, sir, may I assist you with anything?"
"Ah... that, that..."
As Fang Guanghui scratched his head, not knowing what to say, Fang You stepped in and signaled with a hand raise:
"Hello, I am the client who previously made an online reservation for a custom-designed brooch with a star theme."
"Oh, I know, you are... Mr. Fang, right?"
The sales associate looked at Fang You, then glanced at Fang Guanghui beside him, seeming a bit hesitant about whom to address when Fang You explained:
"This is my dad, but I placed the order, and I will talk to you about it. You can call me You You. I should have already discussed it quite thoroughly with your manager online. Today I'm here to pay the deposit and also to understand more about the details of your design scheme."
"Ah, sure, please come this way. We have prepared three initial design proposals for you. Please take a look——"
"Wait, wait a moment——"
Fang Guanghui quickly pulled Fang You aside to ask: "Hey, You You, are you serious? You're actually doing custom jewelry here; how much money do you plan to spend!"
Fang Guanghui felt somewhat defiant, "It's true that their family is wealthy, but Nuo Nuo became friends with you because she appreciated who you are inside. She's not a superficial child. She doesn't care whether our family has money or not, and, besides, that doesn't affect your and Nuo Nuo's friendship, right?"
Fang Guanghui patted Fang You on the shoulder, "You should be confident! Our family is not that poor. When you grow up, just work a little harder, and our family can be as rich as Nuo Nuo's!"
This old man... He's impervious to reason!
Fang You sighed, "Right now, Nuo Nuo and I are good friends, but it might not be the case when we grow up."
"Nuo Nuo might be sent abroad for study by her dad. She might also move away, and we may not see each other for many years. By then, Nuo Nuo and I might have been out of each other's lives for years, and upon meeting again, we could end up being the most familiar strangers."
With that, Fang You held up his head, showing a slightly melancholic expression:
"So, I thought if I could create more precious memories with Nuo Nuo before we have to part, that would be great."
"Preparing this custom gift was also meant to leave Nuo Nuo a beautiful keepsake. After all, the gifts I've given Nuo Nuo in the past were very simple, but this one can be kept for a very long time."
Fang Guanghui nodded, "You've got a point. Now Dad understands why you wanted to buy such an expensive birthday gift for Nuo Nuo."
"But as for what you said about growing apart from Nuo Nuo... I don't think it's possible. If Nuo Nuo goes abroad to study, you can also go abroad. Our family isn't without the means to afford studying abroad, and you're so smart, you could earn a scholarship yourself. It's not really a problem, you can go together with Nuo Nuo!
And regarding moving, now that transportation is so developed, if you want to see each other, can't you just meet up anytime, and you can also video chat... I don't think your relationship with Nuo Nuo can weaken. You're still young; you don't need to worry about these distant future matters. Even if they do happen, Dad here will definitely know you have ways to solve them! Just keep at it!"
Fang Guanghui gave Fang You a thumbs-up, wearing a confident expression.
"..."
The audacity of this dad, it's terrifying!
Fang You quietly activated the "Rational Persuasion" Talent and set it to the on position.
"Dad, after all that I've said, I'm actually trying to say..."
Fang You sighed, "You said you wanted to strive to become better, right? Can't you make an effort yourself, try to narrow the gap between our family and Nuo Nuo's? What about the bold declaration you made during the meteor shower, why don't you mention it now?"
[Rational argument successful, you are persuading with logic...]
"Ah, that's what you mean!"
Fang Guanghui suddenly showed a look of realization and then put on a serious face, "But don't worry, son. Dad is already working hard. I've increased my time playing Paru by an hour every day, just so I can become a legendary Paru Trainer sooner!"
"..."
[You have personally experienced the pain and difficulty of educating your father, knowledge energy +500]
Facing his son's nearly cracking expression, Fang Guanghui burst into laughter, patting Fang You on the shoulder, "Hahaha okay, Dad won't joke with you anymore. You're great in every aspect. You just lack a sense of humor. Nuo Nuo is much more fun than you."
"Forget it."
Getting Dad to start trying might be a bit challenging in the short term. It will need a long-term plan.
Anyway, the matter of the birthday gift is resolved for now. Time to head home today.
